Finland is a land of green forests, clean air and pure nature. In Finland you also have freedom to roam; No matter whether you are local or a tourist, everyone has a right to get in touch with Finnish nature. The best way of doing this is to visit one or more of the 40 Finnish national parks all over the country.

Unlike in some countries, Finnish nature – including national parks – is available for everyone and completely free of charge to enter. Each national park in Finland has it’s own unique landscapes and attractions and also a visitor centre where you can get detailed information about places to visit, hiking routes, campfire sites, restaurants, cafés and other services in the area.

Did you know that only a 20-minute walk in the forest lowers your blood pressure and reduces stress? They are good enough reasons to take a small tour and visit 5 beautiful national parks with their most famous attractions right now.
